A LETTER TO MY UNKNOWN
WIFE
....I woke with a start in the
wee hours of the night on my
bed, I stretched my hand
across the bed to feel the
softness and the tender skin
of my wife but it was my
pillow that occupied the space
beside me then I realized that
my wife is yet to come into
my life. An idea strikes me and
I decided to write a letter to
my unknown wife.
Hello dear it’s funny that I
don’t even know your name
yet but that is of little
important because I will
always call you "My Angel".
How is life treating you?. I
hope you are living a just life,
for a clear conscience keeps
the mind happy and a happy
mind keeps one focus. My
angel it might have happened
that we have met without
really meeting or we may
have passed each other on the
road without even a glance or
possibly, we have never met;
whatever the case may be, we
are going to meet someday.
My angel I’m looking
forward to the day we shall be
pronounce husband and wife,
the day that man will say:
"You may now kiss the bride",
the day my parents will
embrace yours, the day that
your siblings will accept mine,
the day we shall be known as
a family, a big family I
promise I will never ask you to
drop your surname but you
are definitely adding mine to
yours and I won’t choose a
place for our honeymoon the
pleasure will be yours. I’m
also looking forward to the
night when we shall conjugate
our marriage, when I shall
plant the seed of my first twin
inside of you..... Gods willing.
My angel I will never treat you
wrong though we may and
we will have our ups and
downs but that will only
makes our love grow
stronger. My angel, I don’t
care if your flower has been
plugged circumstances can
make us do things against our
wish I promise to love and
cherish you just the way you
are. On my part of the world
I’m building a formidable
me, a me that will be able to
provide for you and the kids, a
man that will respect you, a
me that will love you but
above all these, a me that will
be your best friend now,
always and forever. Education
is important my angel and I
hope you are acquiring it but
if you are not I can always
send you back to school to get
it but you must be learning a
trade or a work that will keeps
you preoccupy positively, I
don’t want you idle for an
idle hand is a devils workshop.
Be careful with men, don’t
fall prey to their sweet words
which carry little meanings;
listen, believe but never lost
your focus in life and don’t
see men as the solution to
financial problems or
whatever problems you face
in life. Work hard and tackle
all your problems with a brave
heart, so that when we meet I
will respect and love you
because love is never enough,
I need to respect and love you
before we can build a happy
home. I will be
a lovely husband, every new
day will always be better than
the previous day, that I
promise you. And we may not
be the richest couple but we
shall be among the happiest
couples on earth. On this note
my angel. I want you to know
that I am looking forward to
the day I can boldly say that I
have a Queen the SYMBOL of
Love. I am also praying for
you and I’m wishing you the
very best life can offer, until
we meet have fun (reasonable
fun). HOPE TO MEET YOU SOON
MY ANGEL. #sir~jii
